Hey everyone,
My entire body hurts. I was so tired yesterday, and today I had class AND work. On a freaking Saturday! Can you believe that shit?
Anyway, I woke up after a nap with a clogged nose, sore throat and puffy eyes. I feel like shit, and I just want to go to bed again. If I finish the chapter this week, you'll get another teaser on Wednesday, and if I drown in my own mucus, I leave my fandom possessions to my beta and pre-reader.
To be honest, I'm not sure when chapter 15 will be ready at this point. I'm a bit blocked, the dialogue isn't flowing like I want, and I've re-written a scene five times already. I need a break from this chapter before I scrap it all. But here's a small teaser as promised. This is from Chapter 16, which I've been focusing on as I try to get rid of the block I have on 15. Hope you guys like it, and remember this is unbetaed and is subjected to change.
This was unlike any other kiss Bella had ever experienced. It was so full of need and passion. It took everything she had not to drag him to her bedroom and beg him to make her his. But it was too soon, and she didn't want to push things too far.
Edward sensed her tension, and slowed down the kiss. He cupped her jaw with one hand, lips briefly parting, and then he kissed her again with gentle pecks until she pushed him away.
“I’m sorry,” Bella said in a rush, cupping her flaming cheek. “I’m just not ready.”
Edward shook his head and kissed her forehead. “We have all the time in the world, mia bella. So please, don’t feel embarrassed. I understand.”
“I just don’t want you think badly of me.”
Edward frowned. “Why would I? It was obvious you were uncomfortable, and I would never dare to push your limits. I’m not that kind of man.”
“I know, it’ just that…” She bit her lip and looked down, only for her wide eyes to quickly snap up to his face.
It was then that Edward realized what it was all about.
She had felt his…excitement, for lack of a better word, during their kiss.
Edward bit down his lip and shrugged. “I can’t help my physical reactions. You’re a beautiful woman, and I’m just man.”
“You’re a bit more than a man.”
Edward let out a bark of a laugh at her innocent comment.
Bella turned red when she realized how her words could have been interpreted. “I didn’t mean it like that!”
Ruh-roh! Bella, you naughty girl! Hope you guys liked that little insight on these two's week-long date.
Till next time,
